Slicing through the center of town, Superkilen is easily identified with geometric sections painted on the pavement in red, magenta, rust and coral colors. Celebrating the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tredje-natur-architecture-designs-worlds-first-climate-adjusted-neighborhood-in-copenhagen-denmark/" target="_blank">diverse cultural make up of Copenhagen</a>, each color represents a different zone for experiencing the cultural artifacts and activities.

Many countries are represented throughout the interactive exhibition. An octopus slide from Japan invites kids and adults to go for a whirl down one of its tentacles. An ornate Islamic tiled fountain represents Morocco, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/kingyobu-transforms-old-phone-booths-into-goldfish-tanks-on-the-streets-of-osaka/" target="_blank">creating a meeting pointing the center of a square</a>.

Visitors can take a load off at the Black Square, sitting in furniture beneath a giant red star sign from the United States. A Green Park brings a breath of fresh air to Superkilen, with an <a href="http://inhabitat.com/construction-to-begin-on-chicagos-elevated-bloomingdale-trail-next-summer/" target="_blank">intermingling of trees, plants and lush grass hills</a> that are prime picnicking and lounging areas.
